I'm 21 and am currently exercising very heavily. Yesturday I went running up a mountain and it was very extremely cold. I turned around when my face got to cold and ever since my lungs have hurt. On a scale of 1 to 10, its about a 2 or 3 - but quite annoyjng. Did I just strain them going uphill faster than usual or did something bad happen in the cold? No pain in coughing, just breathing.

 Hi Lindsay,
When excessive amounts of cold air are breathed in faster than can be warmed by the body it causes bronchial irritation. I would be inclined to first consider this but if improvement isn't soon noted have an evaluation done.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
